Earth Day: Election Edition events are taking place this weekend
After months of preparation, the time has finally come — our Earth Day: Election Edition events are taking place this weekend on Oct. 22. This planet is so great that it needs two days, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by drawing attention to the importance of our planet in the last three weeks before the midterm elections. CCL chapters across the country have lots of great things planned. CCLers in Gilbert, Arizona, will be tabling to share information about the Inflation Reduction Act. CCL Silicon Valley will be registering people to vote in the park around Lake Elizabeth. CCL Chicago will be hosting an election-themed tabling event in their local farmer’s market. Check out the virtual and in-person events this Saturday, jump in, and make climate an election issue!
